Yes! That's right!

Back on May 5, 2016, I started working on a Kishin Douji Zenki fan game called Zenki X!

Currently, it allows you to play as Chibi Zenki and Kishin Zenki, who use their sprites and voice clips from Battle Raiden. You can also talk to Chiaki, who stands around at the Enno Shrine.

Maybe, I will make her a playable character as well at some point. I also started working on custom sprites for Goki, so you would be able to play as him as well.

So far, I finished coding the starting area, a small part of the map and the first, actual ingame stage, which is mostly a water level, that has you fighting Hyouinomi at the beginning and some fish-like Hyouijuu when you enter the water. It even has a boss!

The difficulty is very high and I don't intend on lowering it, as while I got a few game overs on my own stage, I managed to play through it a few times and beat the boss.

It's really just a matter of practicing the stage.

As Zenki X is made in the Super Mario Brothers X engine, you can save whenever you return to the world map. Also, I made sure, that even, if the game is difficult, it will never be unfair.

While I planned the game beyond the hub stage and the first ingame stage on paper, I only got to put 3 months of programming and spriting into it (the enemy sprites were made by myself) and didn't have time to continue working on it afterwards.

While the game is playable and has no bugs or glitches, it is more of an alpha than anything else right now. (I can hardly call it a beta with only one actual action stage, even if it has a boss at the end of it XD)
